EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Eli Manning is only taking the snaps his coaches think are most important to get him ready for the New York Giants’ showdown with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
Manning’s sore right heel did not get any worse playing less than a half in the Giants’ blowout win over the Oakland Raiders. But coach Tom Coughlin is being cautious as New York prepares for a battle of undefeated teams in the Superdome, a few miles from the Uptown neighborhood where Manning grew up.
Coughlin said Manning would do a little more work in Thursday’s practice and step it up again on Friday.
The Giants (5-0) are off to their best start since 1990. The Saints, the NFL’s top scoring team, had a bye last weekend after winning their first four games.
